TOY CARROUSEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 361,835, dated April 26, 1887.

Application filed February 10, 1887. Serial No. 227.125. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL PINNELL, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Toy Oarrousel, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention has for its object to provide an effective miniature representation of a carrousel which is simple in construction and easily operated.

The invention consists in a novel construction and combination of parts constituting the toy carrousel, as hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view illustrating my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing a rotary frame of modified construction. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the same, part being broken out.

The rotary frame A, Fig. 1, is of circular shape, and to its upper face, near the edge, are secured a series of life-like metallic or other figures, B, as shown, representing horses and other animals, with interspersed seats 0, in

imitation of an ordinary carrousel.

The frame A is pivoted loosely at its center to a handle, D, as by means of a screw, E, and to the under side of the frame, at or near its edge, is secured a weight, F.

The lower end of the handle D is formed with a pin, G, which, when the toy is not in use, is received in a corresponding socket in the stand H, by which the frame is supported in a horizontal position.

In operating the toy the handle, being removed from the stand, is grasped and slightly oscillated by the hand, when the weight F, secured cccentrically to the pivoted frame A, will give a rapid rotation to the same, carrying the figures B around in quick succession in apt imitation of a carrousel.

In Figs. 2 and 3 the rotary frame is shown in the form of a straight bar, A, pivoted at its center to the handle D, as before, and carrying platforms A" at its ends, on which the figures B are mounted. The weight F is secured to the under side of-the bar at or near its end.

Having thus fully described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to'secure by Letters Patent In atoy carrousel, the combination, with the handle, of a frame pivoted at its center thereto, weighted to throw its center of gravity off the pivotal center and adapted to be oscillated by and with and revolved by the handle, and a series of figures, as described, fixed to the outer part of the frame, substantially as shown and described.
